Nigerian homosexuals have moved to stop Comedian AY from entering the UK for his comedy tour over his alleged homophobic routines and support for laws cracking down on queer people.
An online petition seeking to ban the comedian from entering the United Kingdom was started by the openly gay, British-Nigerian Reverend Jide Riberth Macaulay after the comedian announced the UK tour dates for his popular comedy show, ‘AY Live.’
The petition which has now garnered over 2000 signatures calls for the UK Government to withdraw the comedian’s visa and refuse him entry into the UK to host his show.
The petition states that he AY brand is “toxic” and “homophobic” citing the comedian’s support for the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act (SSMPA) which was passed into law by the Goodluck Jonathan Administration in 2014.
At one of his shows in 2018 AY publicly mocker effeminate gay men and told attendees that homosexuality is a sin.
The artiste also encouraged the witch hunt of gay people in the country including the lynching and public humiliation of homosexuals everywhere including churches.
